Patent Claims
12 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

3

3. The method of claim 2, wherein a tile-processing direction of the third batch of primitives is opposite to a tile-processing direction of the first batch of primitives.

4

4. The method of claim 1, wherein a tile-processing direction of the first batch of primitives is opposite to a tile-processing direction of the second batch of primitives.

5

5. The method of claim 1, wherein updating the tile-processing order as tiles of the first batch of primitives are processed comprises updating the tile-processing order as tile of the first batch of primitives are pushed to a backend processing portion of a graphics processing unit.

6

6. The method of claim 1, wherein determining the tile-processing order for the tiles of the first batch of primitives comprises arranging the tiles of the first batch of primitives that have a same screen-space as tiles of the second batch of primitives based on a most-recently-processed-tile-to-a-least-recently-processed tile order of the second batch of primitives.

8

8. The method of claim 7, wherein a tile-processing direction of the first batch of primitives is opposite to a tile-processing direction of the second batch of primitives.

10

10. The method of claim 9, further comprising updating the observed tile-processing order as tiles of the first batch of primitives are processed.

11

11. The method of claim 10, wherein determining the tile-processing order for tiles of the first batch of primitives comprises ordering m tiles of the first batch of primitives that have a same screen-space as m tiles of the second batch of primitives to correspond the tile-processing order for the m tiles of the second batch of primitives in which m is less than or equal to n.

13

13. The method of claim 12, wherein a tile-processing direction of the third batch of primitives is opposite to a tile-processing direction of the first batch of primitives.

14

14. The method of claim 10, wherein updating the tile-processing order as tiles of the first batch of primitives are processed comprises updating the tile-processing order as tile of the first batch of primitives are pushed to a backend processing portion of a graphics processing unit.

15

15. The method of claim 9, wherein a tile-processing direction of the first batch of primitives is opposite to a tile-processing direction of the second batch of primitives.

18

18. The method of claim 17, wherein a tile-processing direction of the third batch of primitives is opposite to a tile-processing direction of the first batch of primitives.

20

20. The method of claim 19, wherein a tile-processing direction of the first batch of primitives is opposite to a tile-processing direction of the second batch of primitives.
